OK, so can anyone say yet which version is superior? Should I just go with the 360 version? I'm really uncertain at this point.

hoping the local shop has it in stock this lunch-hour. I've been pining for a new game and dead space won't arrive till near the end of the month.

I think I am going the 360 route on this one as well. The PS3 has been getting too much love from me lately.

Okay so I haven't played that much yet, but I can already say I love this game way more than GTAIV. Lots of great laughs already..

Also people who are saying this looks almost exactly the same as part 1 need to get their eyes cleaned out, SR1 is fresh in my memory ( been playing it the last two days ) and it certainly looks better. Lots more detailed..

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, that Saints Row 2 is the best game I've ever played!

The second best game I've played is The Darkness.

Make your assumptions as you please.

FedEx just dropped off my copy of the 360 version! Thank you Amazon release-day delivery!

Alas, I'm at work for another 6 hours :(

I've only played the first 2 missions and I have no desire to ever touch GTA4 again.

This is the best sandbox game ever.

also, the soundtrack is fucking fantastic.

I just logged in to say the same thing. I was playing the first one yesterday and with only 10 mins in, this is already much better looking (As is obvious just looking at the pre-release media). Watched my brother play through the escape and into the city. Even the same areas are better looking this time around. Better textures, higher poly count on everything, better lighting, added effects, better game performance etc.

Also, the new car surfing? Awesome to the max. :lol

That doesn't sound like an 8.

An 8 is a "Great". I reserve 9s for games I feel are innovative and potentially timeless. Something we'll probably still be talking about years from now, you know? Games whose ideas will be pillaged by other developers. Saints Row 2 isn't very different from the GTA3 series and doesn't look that hot, but it's still super fun. It's why the review text is more important than the score. I loved every second of this game and I think I get across why it's so fun in the text and my video review.

Everyone has to check out Zombie Uprising. I was shocked when I started it up. I expected some lame 2D retro arcade game, and got this super sweet zombie survival game. So intense. I'm going to see if we (GameSpot) can add a "Best Minigame of the Year" category so ZU can win an award. :D

What I don't like so far:
-No more dedicated kick button.
-No more running attack.

Everything about everything else is much better. <3

Yeah I dislike not having a running attack either, why remove that at all? :\

But the rest is fucking sweet. Snatch is so fucking cool the hoes follow you in another vehicle if you don't have enough room for them, so you know, some ho will jack a random fool and take his ride.

Hope my import copy will arrive soon, a game with fucking Opeth on the tracklist needs to be in my collection. And i loved the original, my first game for 360 and played it to death.

That 80's station sounds really sweet too! :D

Even Septic Avenger is surprisingly fun. Swarms of people running away trying to avoid getting, well, shat on. Cops and eventually SWAT trying to stop you while you go on your rampage. The force of the blast pushing people, vehicles, street lights, whatever all over the place. Property values plummeting.

At one point there was a lone SWAT officer trying to stop the truck by shooting it with a tazer. :lol Needless to say, he failed and went flying 20 feet.

If you get a chance, I would love to hear your impressions on the performance of the PS3 version.

Its pretty smooth. As I'm sure you have read, graphics are not really what this game is about. there are issues with tearing and clipping but nothing that I didn't expect.

Its a very fun, arcadey experience but it definitely lacks the high production values of another sandbox game

The only "meh" activity I've seen so far is Trailblazing. It's probably better playing it that it is watching it, but it's not that fun to watch.

On the opposite end of the fun spectrum is Fuzz. Best new activity so far. I watched my bro chase down a "helmet-less rider" and he rammed him head on with a car sending him flying off his bike. Then ran straight up to him and kicked him in the balls and put two bullets in his spine to finish him off.

Then there are other times like taking out skaters with satchel charges :)lol) or just as I'm typing this a report comes up that there are Pirates killing Ninjas (lol what), another with drug dealers selling people steroids (the users are amped up and their punches send you flying down the block). :lol!

Fuzz is awesome.
